Jim Edmonds Posts Photo With His 3 Kids After Custody Battle

Jim Edmonds He shared a photo of himself and his three children after he was granted temporary custody of the children.

On his Instagram Story on Friday, November 28, Edmonds, 55, shared a family snapshot with his daughter Aspen, 9, and twin sons, Hart and Hayes, both 7, all of whom he shares with his ex-wife. Megan King. The photo also featured Edmonds’ current wife Courtney. He captioned it, “Lots of love.”

Post to come Us Weekly News broke on November 19 that King, 41, had temporarily lost custody of the three children following an investigation by Child Protective Services.

Multiple sources said we Earlier this month, King retained supervised visitation rights, but Edmonds has sole physical custody of the three children. The decision is temporary pending a hearing — scheduled for December — to determine whether the custody arrangement will become permanent.

King and Edmonds married in 2014 before splitting in 2019. The former couple made headlines in 2022 when King filed for a temporary restraining order. In legal papers, she alleged that Edmonds displayed “repeated and persistent verbal abuse” toward her virtually and on the court-monitored shared care app, Our Family Wizard.

“This request for a protective order is completely baseless and makes a complete mockery of the pain suffered by millions of women in this country who are legitimate victims of abuse,” Edmonds representative Steve Honig said.

In May this year, police were called to Edmonds’ home after King entered the home he shares with his wife, Courtney, without permission. King told police officers that Edmonds was “emotionally abusive” towards her, something he denied in a statement we In September.

“As usual, Meghan tells stories. She and Jim barely communicate, so if someone is emotionally abusing her, it’s not Jim,” a company spokesperson claimed. “Jim is an active and present father to all of his children. The unfortunate part of all of this is that it is the children who suffer the most. Jim has always been willing to cooperate in a respectful and productive way, but Meghan has yet to reciprocate.”

Over the years, the couple has been open about their difficulties overcoming the challenges of co-parenting.

King said exclusively Us Weekly In February as she and Edmunds struggle to cooperate in an amicable manner.

“I don’t know what co-parenting is. … In order to be a co-parent, you have to communicate right?” she said Shs at that time. “Yes, so that would be a good start… I don’t think so [the kids] Like that. I don’t think they know anything different, but I don’t think they like it either. “I wish we could discuss matters related to our children, but we cannot.”

Two years before she was accepted as a co-parent, King said she never “envisioned” her family unit separating.

“I thought that families are created from unconditional love. Two parents weather the storms of life but always stay together to celebrate the next rainbow,” she wrote via a candid Instagram post in May 2020. “But this is not my story and it makes me feel deep remorse — like I let my children down by not giving them a nuclear family. But today I refuse to dwell on mistakes and bad situations that I cannot control; Today I control my reaction.

She concluded by saying, “I miss my children who made me a mother before I had children and I send them so much love. I miss my freedom. I mourn the loss of what could have been. But despite this I look at my beautiful tribe with pride because I am the mother of three wonderful children and I am the only one they have.”
